Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. 2008 release. Nice, sweet malty backbone with sugary notes of caramel and some hint of fruity, citrus hops. This barley wine is so well balanced in my opinion. The alcohol is just barely traceable, but that doesn’t make it any less drinkable. Medium-full body with an oily mouthfeel. Warm and comforting.

Sep 27, 2009 2009 bomber from Archer Liquors. Pours lightly hazy amber with a four finger beige/tan head. Aroma seems pine over sweet malt. Medium body with medium carbonation. Malt is strong. Hop bitter is citrus? Heat is minimal, given the abv. Head does some lacing. Might be a bit toffee towards the end. Pretty well balanced finish. Bitter and sweet all at once. Pretty impressive.

Sep 27, 2009 22oz bottle, 2009 edition blue wax thanks to pantanap. Pours a bright copper color, vigorously poured reveals a thick white head that goes down pretty quick. A sweet aroma, smooth and easy, sweet hops, honey, roasted caramel, sweetness and some bitter hops and alcohol. The flavor was unexpectedly smooth and somehow so easy to drink, I expected a hot hop bomb, but I was wrong; initial strong hops, bitter and smooth, a massive addition of burnt caramel- this is the best caramel profile ever I think, not overly sweet at all- light citrus and dry malts. Very little alcohol warmth. Leaves your palate with bitter hop flavors. Very nice.

Sep 26, 2009 It poured a hazy copper golden liquid with a small white foam. It had a strong smell of grassy hops and flowers. The smell was thick and intense with some warm alcohol to build it up. It had a thick and heavy taste of caramell, hops and malt. High bitterness, very nice, a great beer!

Sep 23, 2009 2009 bottle. Ruby red pour with a light beige head. Aroma of fruity hops, sweet malt. Malty flavor, caramel, piney hops, creamy sweetness. Great lacing on the glass showing each sip taken. Rich, flavorful beer. Aftertaste is great. Well-balanced complex beer. Alcohol is more noticeable as the beer sits for awhile. I like this beer a lot.

Sep 21, 2009 On tap at the brewery. This amber ale poured with a thick off-white head and a sharp alcohol aroma. There is a delicious caramel malt base with significant hop bitterness.

Sep 18, 2009 Last bottle I consumed a few months ago was Yellow so I guess it was over a year old if I had it in 08. 07 bottle. Aroma was really nice. Sweet with lots of juicy hops and malts. Citrus, caramel, molasses, honey and alcohol. Flavor has juicy hops balanced with cream and caramel and alcohol. Nice body and nice to drink.
